Another Brazilian. Another tattoo aficionado. Neymar has so many tattoos on his body that it is hard to keep count. The one noticeable thing about the artwork is that he likes to display his love for religion. On the triceps of his left arm, there is a tattoo ‘Corintias’ that refers to a verse from the Bible.

Close to that is Neymar’s view about life as he considers it a joke and the ‘Life is a Joke’ is a perfect testament to his opinion. Below on his lower left arm is a tattoo of two praying hands which is captioned by the letters ‘fe’, which means faith and which he engraved as a good luck charm for the 2014 World Cup.

On the ring finger of his left hand, there is a tattoo of a crown. Meanwhile, the name of his sister, Rafaella, can be found on the wrist of his right hand, which is accompanied by the name of his son a little above. He didn’t leave out his mother, Nadine, as her name can be seen on the wrist of his left hand.

Before departing Brazil for Barcelona, he added two more tattoos on his left and right ankles, respectively, where the words ‘ousadia and alegria’ which means daring and joy’, can be seen. At the top of his backbone, he acknowledges the grace of God on him as we can see the word ‘Blessed’ residing there.

That’s not all. His neck contains the words ‘Tudo passa’ while the upper portion of his left arm has a diamond below the word ‘Sorella’, which means sister in Italian. This is a tattoo that he shares with his sister as she also has a similar one but with the title ‘Fratello’ (brother) instead.
